Save Valuable Trees with Emergency Support
When storms or other events damage structurally significant trees on your property, emergency bracing and cabling can often save them from complete failure. Our emergency tree bracing service provides immediate structural support to damaged trees, preventing further damage and giving them a chance to recover.
Using industry-approved techniques and materials, our certified arborists can install temporary or permanent support systems that help preserve your valuable trees while ensuring safety.
When Emergency Bracing Is Needed
Split Trunks
Trees with multiple trunks that have begun to split at the union point due to storm damage or structural weakness.
Cracked Major Limbs
Large branches that have partially cracked but remain attached to the tree and are salvageable.
Storm-Damaged Trees
Trees that have been weakened by storms but remain structurally viable with proper support.
Leaning Trees
Trees that have begun to lean due to root damage or soil saturation but can be stabilized.
Our Emergency Bracing Solutions
Cabling Systems
High-strength steel cables installed between major limbs to reduce stress on weak unions and limit movement during high winds.
Ideal for trees with multiple stems or V-shaped crotches that are prone to splitting.
Bracing Rods
Steel rods installed through weak unions or splits to provide rigid support and prevent further separation.
Effective for trees with cracks or splits in the main trunk or major branch attachments.
Temporary Props
Custom-designed support structures that help hold up leaning trees or heavy limbs until permanent solutions can be implemented.
Used for immediate support in emergency situations to prevent imminent failure.
Root Plate Stabilization
Systems designed to stabilize trees that have begun to lean due to root plate failure or soil issues.
Combines ground anchors, cables, and sometimes root zone improvements to restore stability.
